David Stearns’ gamble on young infielders has kept Mets buzzing
NY Post
Ronny Mauricio blasted a monstrous home run on Saturday in Colorado that left the Mets buzzing in the third base dugout.
Weeks earlier it was Brett Baty’s offensive flurry after a recall from Triple-A Syracuse that energized the team.
And when the season started, Luisangel Acuña’s speed and pesky plate approach were notable factors in the team’s success.
All three players are infielders who are or were regarded among the organization’s best prospects.

The cold, unappetizing truth for Steve Cohen is that he has only one person to blame for the backlash presently aimed at his baseball team, and it isn’t David Stearns. Oh, Stearns makes for an easy target, a never-played-the-game Harvard man who is the perfect contrast to the rub-some-dirt-on-it tobacco chompers who ruled the game for a century.
